INTRODUCTION These instructions for use are meant to support you to operate the outlet systems for vacuum. In addition, you will find a description of the various options available to combine the products with different systems. If any failures or questions should come up during service please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department for help.. 1. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS and MODELS The vacuum regulation valve with water trap combined with a collecting device has been designed for secretion removal by suction over a longer period of time. In addition, this system allows for the very precise and consistent adjustment of small vacuums and the competent, professional application of a secretion removal system by suction. By means of the vacuum regulator, the vacuum available from the central supply system is adjusted to the vacuum value required. Depending on the setting of the infinitely variable regulating valve, this suction is capable of generating a vacuum between 0 and -0.8 bar. This vacuum is limited by the immersion depth of the immersion tube in the water trap. Seite 3 von 16
The maximum immersion depth is 40 cm. This corresponds to a maximum vacuum of 0.04 bar. - water column of 1 cm = 0.001 bar = 1 mbar When the resistance of the secretion rises the vacuum increases as well and the atmospheric pressure of the surrounding presses the water level in the immersion tube more and more under the water level in the bottle. The difference in height (h) of the two water levels in cm corresponds to the currently generated negative pressure in mbar. When the water level in the immersion tube reaches the lowest end (h max.) air escapes through the immersion tube and goes up in the form of air bubbles. This prevents the vacuum from increasing more and it is limited. Due to the fact that the position of the immersion tube can be modified in its height, different limiting positions may be chosen, i.e. it is possible to infinitely adjust different vacuums.

Secretion-collecting jar The secretion which has been sucked off is collected in the secretioncollecting jar which has been equipped with a float ball to prevent it from overflowing. Once the maximum filling height has been reached, this float ball will lock the connection to the vacuum-regulation valve. Seite 6 von 16
The following secretion-collecting jars may be connected: Secretion-collecting jar 1.0 l Rail 6600255 Secretion-collecting jar 1.0 l Jar-carrying rack 6600265 Carrying rack for secretioncollecting jar 1.0 l 6600260 Illustr.

Alternatively, disposable collecting jars may be used. Seite 7 von 16

2. PUTTING INTO OPERATION of vacuum regulation valve with water trap Please make sure that all the components connected, i.e. connecting hose, drainage systems, bacteria filter, safety jar, secretion-collecting jar etc., have been properly and firmly adapted. Screw off the collecting jar and fill it with distilled water up to the marking maximum filling height. Before putting into operation, place the immersion tube with the lower edge onto the marking of the vacuum that you require. The position of the immersion tube is fixed by means of the clamp screw. Please make sure that the clamp screw has been fastened properly. The suction power is set by opening the regulating valve. This process will open the vacuum flow and create the undertow required for suction. Turn the regulating unit anti-clockwise until with closed suction connector air bubbles can be seen at the lower end of the immersion tube. This means that the preset negative pressure has been reached. In order to avoid contamination, a bacteria filter has to be installed between the vacuum regulation valve and the secretion-collecting jar. Seite 9 von 16
Before putting the system into operation, a function test should be carried out in accordance with the following schedule: Connect the vacuum regulation valve with the outlet Fill the collecting jar Set the lower edge of the immersion tube to the marking 5 mbar Open the regulating unit completely (by turning anti-clockwise until reaching the stop) Please make sure that, with an open hose adapter, there are no air bubbles at the end of the immersion tube. Close the regulating unit completely (by turning clockwise until reaching the stop). Please make sure that, with a closed hose adapter, there are no air bubbles at the end of the immersion tube. In the case of a negative test result, please urgently correct the failure yourself or contact our service department. Make sure that the apparatus is not put into operation. Seite 10 von 16

3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING AND CARE 3.1 Disassembling For disinfection, cleaning or sterilisation purposes, screw off the bottle and empty it. Attention: Do not autoclave the collecting jar at 134 C. Do not sterilise the sound absorber. 3.2 Disinfection and cleaning 3.2.1 Manual disinfection and cleaning All those parts which get in contact with the patients breathing air have to be disinfected in any case. Put the corresponding application elements into the disinfecting bath; the exposure time will depend on the type of disinfecting agent which is used (see the package insert of the disinfectant). Take the elements out of the disinfecting bath and rinse them with running sterile water. Dry the cleaned elements. Please make sure that there is no humidity left in the apparatus. For those parts which do not get into contact with the patients breathing air wiping disinfection will be sufficient 3.2.2 Mechanical disinfection and cleaning Please make sure that you only use non-aggressive detergents, for example neo disher MA, neo disher FA or similar products. 3.3. Sterilisation Disposable application elements must not be autoclaved (see order data). Seite 12 von 16
